Maggie Moves On
Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score is $2.99! This was mentioned on Hide Your Wallet and has a new cover design. Score’s books aren’t for me, but I’d love to hear from some people who love them.
Can these opposites turn up the heat… without burning down the house?
House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she’s spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?

Fortune’s Pawn
Fortune’s Pawn by Rachel Bach is $2.99! Catch this one as part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. This is a scifi novel with some strong romantic elements and, in the past, I’ve heard it described as Kate Daniels in space.
Devi Morris isn’t your average mercenary. She has plans. Big ones. And a ton of ambition. It’s a combination that’s going to get her killed one day – but not just yet.
That is, until she just gets a job on a tiny trade ship with a nasty reputation for surprises. The Glorious Fool isn’t misnamed: it likes to get into trouble, so much so that one year of security work under its captain is equal to five years everywhere else. With odds like that, Devi knows she’s found the perfect way to get the jump on the next part of her Plan. But the Fool doesn’t give up its secrets without a fight, and one year on this ship might be more than even Devi can handle.
If Sigouney Weaver in Alien met Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica, you’d get Deviana Morris — a hot new mercenary earning her stripes to join an elite fighting force. Until one alien bite throws her whole future into jeopardy.

The Wolf of Oren-Yaro
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by K.S. Villoso is $2.99! Ellen wrote a great review of this one, giving it a B-:
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by K.S. Villoso presents a strong entry in the annals of badass fantasy heroines in the form of Queen Talyien of Jin-Sayeng.
A queen of a divided land must unite her people, even if they hate her, even if it means stopping a ruin that she helped create. A debut epic fantasy from an exciting new voice.
“I murdered a man and made my husband leave the night before they crowned me.”
Born under the crumbling towers of Oren-yaro, Queen Talyien was the shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves that nearly tore her nation apart. Her upcoming marriage to the son of her father’s rival heralds peaceful days to come.
But his sudden departure before their reign begins fractures the kingdom beyond repair.
Years later, Talyien receives a message, urging her to attend a meeting across the sea. It’s meant to be an effort at reconciliation, but an assassination attempt leaves the queen stranded and desperate to survive in a dangerous land. With no idea who she can trust, she’s on her own as she struggles to fight her way home.

– Too Hot to Touch (Firebirds Book 2) by Katy James
– Ask a Manager: How to Navigate Clueless Colleagues, Lunch-Stealing Bosses, and the Rest of Your Life at Work by Alison Green
And if anyone’s read Katy James, I’d love to hear what you thought–she’s new to me.
I liked Fortune’s Pawn better than I thought I would, and put the next book in the series on my to-read list.
I enjoyed Rachel Bach’s trilogy. The author also writes as Rachel Aaron.
@flchen1 – I read TOO HOT TO TOUCH, but it was unmemorable enough that my notes say I couldn’t remember anything about it after a few weeks. Book 1, TOO MUCH MAN, was better in my opinion. I’ve actually re-read that one. The FMC, Piper, is a coffee shop owner and just can’t stop herself from building community and feeling sorry for the grumpy MMC. Unfortunately, book 1 is not on sale!
ASK A MANAGER is my favorite work blog, and I’m not even a manager. Who doesn’t want to read about bizarre workplace behavior like one employee cursing another (literal cursing, not swearing)? Or a group of employees running a sex club at work? It’s pure gold, along with a lot of very normal and practical work advice. So thanks for the reminder to buy the book! I meant to buy it earlier today.
@Musical Trees, thank you so much! So helpful to hear—I’ll keep an eye out for book 1! And yes, I’ve found Ask A Manager to be a great resource and a great place to do a gut check on all sorts of situations!
